Boy George went from the courthouse to the jailhouse today after being sentenced to 15 months in prison for the false imprisonment charge he was convicted of in December. As you might remember, George tied up a male escort in his apartment and beat him for tampering with George’s laptop.

To remember happier times, the pop up video for Culture Club’s “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?” and Fred Armisen’s impression of George are below the cut.
Sometimes I wonder if I’m not living in a Bizarro World where one day everyone is going to jump out of my TV and yell “Surprise!” and everything will be fine and we will all drink hot toddies and laugh about the joke that was life in the ’00s, particularly that one show about midgets and tall people dating and the other show about the plastic surgery beauty pageant and that one band from Florida with the guy with the black eyes that was sooo stupid and yeah everything is going to be fine.

John Antonelli is looking for at least $50,000 from Violent J and the venue after suffering a fractured bone near his right eye.
While Maura’s favorite sport seems to have its fair share of music related content, my deep love of soccer doesn’t seem to work its way into posts too often. But thanks to Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard’s Monday arrest in a Southport, England, bar, my dream of melding my two ridiculous passions into one post has come true!
